I want to highlight this detail from our story: We at @autonomynews.co are first to report that, when the Fifth Circuit's decision was briefly in effect earlier this month, abortion providers in some states were advised not to even prescribe mifepristone in person.

However, while the Fifth Circuit’s order was briefly in effect from the evening of May 1 until the morning of May 4, multiple sources told Autonomy News that abortion providers in some states were advised not to prescribe mifepristone in person, either. This concern arose because of the fact that, in certain restrictive states, clinicians could have been accused of prescribing “misbranded” drugs if they gave patients mifepristone even in person for abortion or miscarriage, because the actual label and drug information would have been out of step with the restrictions imposed by the Fifth Circuit.

I am really proud of the work that @rebouche.bsky.social @greerdonley.bsky.social and I did to conceive of and advocate for shield laws. They've made a huge and tangible difference for people in this country. But now we can add another thing to be proud of -- they piss off Sam Alito. Poor Sam.

Sam Alito whining about abortion shield laws. Poor Sam.

In my first adapted excerpt of Killers of Roe, I reflect on @irincarmon.bsky.social's reporting on Planned Parenthood's "good-girl problem" and what the abortion rights movement can learn from history...and from its enemies. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

What the Pro-Choice Movement Can Learn From Those Who Overturned “Roe”

The anti-abortion movement was methodical and radical at the same time. The abortion-rights movement must be too.

Hard to tell a nuanced story of pregnancy and parenting at this moment, when the most powerful people in the country talk paternalistically and coercively about whether women are having enough children, when their vision of a family is narrow and cruel. But I tried. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/o...
